Quicksand

Amazing how thick some people are, when dealing with the sea.
 
The classic movie quicksand death is in Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959) where one of the baddies succumbs. Weirdly satisfying.

Is that the one where he looks like he has porridge over his face?
 
Um, I dunno, I'm not an expert on quicksand terminology. I'll say "yes".


Been years but it struck me, a big guy with a pencil moustache, drowning in the quicksand which appears to made of Scottish porridge. Mind you quicksand death was quite common in films back in the day.

Could have been another film.
 
Here's the scene:

Sorry it's in the wrong ratio, but the victim has curly blond hair and no moustache. Quicksand looks porridgey, though. I'd forgotten what a nasty scene it is!
